Installation Instructions
1 Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following criteria:
đŏ Do not exceed the load capacity requirements of the switch. Refer to the load
ratings in the specifications above for details.
đŏ Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
đŏ The range and performance of the wireless control system is highly
dependent on the following: (1) distance between devices; (2) layout of the
home; (3) walls separating devices; and (4) electrical equipment located near
devices.
2 Turn o the local electrical power by either switching o the circuit breaker or
removing the fuse from the fuse box. To ensure the wires do NOT have power
running to them, use an inductive voltage detector.
NOTE: The back box wiring shown in this document is an example. Your
wire colors and functions may dier. If you are not sure which wires
are the Hot, Neutral, Load, Traveler, and Ground wires, have a trained
electrician perform the installation.
3 Prepare each wire. Wire insulation should be stripped back 5/8 of an inch
from the wire end (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Strip Wire Insulation
4 Identify your wiring application, and then see the appropriate wiring diagram
in the “Sample Wiring Configurations” section below.
IMPORTANT! Not grounding this product, as described in the section
“Warnings and Considerations,” may result in an installation less immune
to damage caused by electrical disturbances, such as ESD or lightning,
and may void the warranty.
Button Tap Sequences
The button tap sequences are defined in the table below. Button tap sequences
that require a single (1) button should use the top button.

Troubleshooting
If the light does not turn on:
5 Identify and connect the switch wires to the back box wires using the wire
nuts.
IMPORTANT! The yellow wire is not a traditional traveler. It cannot directly
power a lighting load. It must be used only to connect to a Control4
Auxiliary Keypad. See “Sample Wiring Configurations.”
TIP: If you are using a Control4 push-on (screwless) faceplate in a multi-
gang installation, attach the black faceplate sub-plate to all of the devices
that will be installed into the wallbox prior to attaching the devices to the
wallbox. This will help ensure that all the devices are properly aligned and
on the same plane after installation.
6 Fit the wires back into the back box. Bend the wires in a zigzag pattern so
that they easily fold into the back box (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Bend the Wires
7 Align the switch to the back box (the load rating label should be at the
bottom) and fasten it with screws. Tighten the screws until the back side of
the yoke plate is even with the wall surface, but no further. Overtightening can
warp the dimmer and cause mechanical malfunction.
8 Install the Control4 Faceplate following the instructions in the Faceplate
Installation Guide or attach a standard Decora-style faceplate.
9 Turn ON power at the circuit breaker or replace the fuse
from the fuse box.
đŏ Ensure at least one LED on the face of the switch is lit.
đŏ Ensure the light bulb is not burned out and is screwed in tightly.
đŏ Ensure that the circuit breaker is not turned OFF or tripped.
đŏ Check for proper wiring (see “Sample Wiring Configurations”).
đŏ For help on the installation or operation of this product, email or call the
Control4 Technical Support Center. Please provide your exact model number.
Contact support@control4.com or see the web site www.control4.com.
Care and Cleaning
đŏ Do NOT paint the switch or its wall plate.
đŏ Do NOT use any chemical cleaners to clean the switch.
đŏ Clean surface of the switch with a soft damp cloth as needed.
